03/10/2013 - College PREP - Bel Air (Baltimore), MD Katie is an athletic OF/SS with a strong arm and game changing power at the plate. As a SS, she showed agile range with fluid footwork, used her hands pretty well and will benefit from playing lower at the hips to improve her fielding position with her hands out front. She plays through well, hustles and should continue to work hard to make the necessary adjustments to further develop. As an OF, Katie has a similar skill set but looks a little more comfortable as she gets behind balls in the air, plays through and uses her arm well with carry and accurate results. Keeping her arms close to her body while tracking balls, quickening her release and improving overall body control will help her to become a more complete defender in the OF and an overall defensive weapon. At the plate, Katie's game shines the brightest. She uses a square set up with a back load, short stride and keeps her balance centered before launching her aggressive swing through the zone. She stays inside the ball well, creates leverage while generating torque and can drive the ball to all fields. Very close to a complete hitter, Katie simply needs to continue to seek quality instruction and reps of the highest possible quality to ensure she is being properly developed in a timely manner. Overall, Katie is a very exciting player with a developing defensive skill set, advanced offensive abilities and a frame that suggests she will get stronger and more athletic as she matures. She is certainly a player to keep an eye on and should be expecting collegiate attention if not already received.
